Dear ImGui already contains much appreciated support for debuggers to visualize it's custom types at
misc/debuggers
.This PR introduces the same capability for LLDB, the choice of debugger of Xcode and macOS. Here is a quick sample of a before/after:
Admittedly the amount of code to achieve this might be scary. LLDB's scripting integration was built with more complex data structures in mind, thus doing simple things unfortunately takes quite a bit of legwork.
Regardless I thought this might be useful for people who use either LLDB or Xcode to work with Dear ImGui.
